Ather, Infineon Team Up to Boost E-Two-Wheelers Growth

Ather Energy, an electric two-wheeler manufacturer in India, and Infineon Technologies Asia Pacific Pte, a global semiconductor solutions provider signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in Seoul, South Korea. The collaboration aims to jointly drive innovation in the electric vehicle (EV) industry in India.

This association focuses on advancing semiconductor technologies to support light electric vehicles (LEVs), charging infrastructure, and safety. It will explore sensing and safety innovations to elevate vehicle safety and user experience.

The partnership aims to leverage semiconductor solutions from Infineon based on various technologies, microcontrollers, and automotive-related sensors, alongside Ather’s role in designing LEVs (Light Electric Vehicles). Together, the companies will work towards enabling more efficient, reliable, and cost-effective EV solutions, driving the adoption of electric two-wheelers in India.

Leadership View

Speaking on the occasion, Swapnil Jain, Executive Director and CTO, of Ather Energy, said: “At Ather, we’ve always believed that building great EVs starts with getting the fundamentals right – performance, efficiency, reliability. Our approach has always been grounded in first-principles thinking and deep engineering, questioning how every system can be made better, faster, and more efficient. That’s where semiconductor innovation becomes critical. Our partnership with Infineon gives us access to advanced technologies that can help us improve key systems, from charging to safety, and explore ways to reduce system complexity and cost.”

Highlighting the importance of this partnership, Peter Schaefer, Executive Vice President and Chief Sales Officer Automotive at Infineon, said: “India is one of the fastest-growing EV markets globally, and electric two-wheelers are at the heart of this transformation. We are thrilled to partner with Ather Energy to enable the next generation of sustainable mobility solutions. Our advanced SiC and GaN technologies will help drive energy-efficient and high-performance electric vehicles. This partnership will foster innovation that contributes meaningfully to India’s ambitious objective to reach a 30 percent sales share for EVs by 2030.”

Additionally, these solutions deliver energy efficiency, charging speed, and overall system reliability advantage. Thereby, making EVs more accessible, sustainable, convenient, and appealing to consumers.
